A Toronto based consignor who became interested in wine after spending 6 months in France many years ago. Their affection for very nice bottles grew over time and they started collecting in the early 2000’s. They began with Bordeaux futures, and then moved more heavily towards California as well as Italy. The wines were mainly sourced from the LCBO/Vintages, and through several wine agents over the years. The wine was stored offsite, some at Iron Gate, and then moved to their home wine cellar.
The score for 2010 Bryant Family Vineyard Proprietor Grown Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is 99 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Teasing the taster with a possible three-digit perfection is the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill. This beauty shows lots of creme de cassis, blueberry liqueur, spring flower and forest floor notes in an opulent, full-bodied, powerful, dense, rich style buttressed by significant ripe tannins and decent acidity. Again, the striking purity and singular character of this Bryant Cabernet Sauvignon oozes potential as well as pedigree. This spectacular, young Cabernet should turn out to be one of the all-time great Bryant Cabernet Sauvignons, rivaling their 1997, but slightly more structured.
